However the moon cn come back all right every time. The problem of making It rain It no more vexatious than that of making It stop. "It Is an author's privilege to be Inaccurate," says a noted writer. Privilege? It's a habit. After the surgeons take n man and make him over they regard him as worth talking about. Ohio man killed while oa bis way to return a borrowed umbrella. Probably insane, anyhow. The feminine airship bas materialized. It may be depended upon to have its wings on straight. A woman doctor advises polygamy as a care for our social evils. Is the lady married, may we ask? Paris will have to train Its river to stay out In the country If It Insists on acting so foolishly In town. According to a Harvard professor, it is not a cat's nature to kill a mouse. Unnatural brutes, cats! The sky pilot Is no longer a theory, hut a visible fact: visible, at least, until he vanishes In the blue dome. A Chicago young man has spent over $300,000 In two years. This high -flying record, howorer, was made without a barograph. As illustrating the dangers of get- j ting up too early in the morning, a i New York man was run Of er by a milk wagon. 1 It Is true that a man has down from the deck of a ship to the shore, bat the day of the aeroplane lifeboat Is not yet In sight. The horse may have to go In order to satisfy a school of prophets, hut the hay and oats crop are stilt large and In good demand. Aviators, like other experimenters, are learning by their mistakes, but In their case the trouble is the mistakes are such costly ones. Chlcagoans are threatened with a coal shortage. Not to be able to buy fuel will be a highly unsatisfactory way of saving money. Columbia did after all bring upon this once happy country the peachbasket hat. He led up to It. He made It possible here. A sea-going ship went to the rescue of an airship, and It Is now the turn of an airship to repay the effort. Turn about is fair play. An Austrian specialist has found a form of Idiocy that Is Infectious. You may have noticed yourself how Infectious s the pun-making habit The typewriting championship has Just been decided In New York again. This Is the first time it has been deelded since day before yesterday. ! Silly to get an Injunction to keep a , woman from going to a ball. Keeping , her dress from getting home In time ( would be Infinitely more effective. ! The prophets were right. Two , months ago they predicted that the ' hobble skirt would not hold favor In ; the snap It had then. It Is now grow- ; Ing worse. That an Insane asylum Inmate who , won a prize for magazine poetry ! ihould not occasion surprise or even j amusement, considering most magaline poetry. The aviation fashions will probably soon appear. The public may be devoutly thankful If feminine admirers of the bird men do not take to wear- ; Ing biplanes and Antoinettes for head rear. A New York husband has asked the Supreme Court to affirm the binding nature of the wife's marriage promise to "obey." This Is a dangerous precedent, for a wife may retaliate by asking a legal enforcement of the husband's promise to "endow with all bla worldly goods." Stealing a red-hot stove has long figured as "the limit" of predatory daring. If not an Impossible feat Dut something closely akin to It Is reported from Hoboken, N. where a man Is under arrest charged with having carried off a stove In which a Are was burning. And to make the affair seem bolder the stove was taken from a police station. In dlscuHsIng the relative merits of new style and old style cooking those who cling to the latter should remember that they formed their opinion of It when they were blessed "with old-style appetites. A New York minister declares that drinking is decreasing among men, but increasing among women. This Jatter charge periodically breaks out but its Injustice to women ns a general thing has too firm a hold on the .public m.'nd for the charge to be seriously entertained.

URGES FIEFLIRM PLAN

MacVEAGH SAYS RED TAPE MUST BE CUT WHERE IT CLOGS GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. ASKS FOR $687,414,860.81 Annual Report Ridicules Assertion That Country Could Save $300,000.C00 a Year Bank System, He Says. Is Breeder of Panics. Washington. Dec 9. Currency reform; extension of the scope of the national banking laws. If there aro no Immediate general changes In the monetary Bystem; civil service retirements; a customs service free from practical politics; business-like methods In the dally transactions of the government and abolition of red tape wherever It clogs the wheels of the government's business are among the recommendations In the annual report f Franklin MacVeagh. secretary of the treasury, presented to congress. Expenses of government In the fiscal year 1912. for which this session of congress is asked to appropriate, are estimated at 8620.494.013.12. The estimated expenditures of the Panama canal are given as $56.920.S47.G9. making a total of J687.414.S60.S1. The estimates represent net savings of about $lS.0O0.000 In the executive departments, compared with the appropriations for the current fiscal year. Secretary MacVeagh expresses the hope that the monetary question will come into congress detached from sectional or political considerations. Calls It Panic-Breeder. "Our system can fairly be called a panic-breeding system." he says, "whereas every other great -national banking and currency system is panicpreventing. As long as we continue under our present system we are liable to panics, and the devastations of panics reach Republicans and Democrats, and all part3 of the country alike. .Panics are no longer necessary and no longer respectable. It Is for the government to say whether we shall have them In the future. It Is a mere matter of choice. "We have no system of reserves; our banking system destroys them. It concentrates In New York what are pretended to be reserves and then forces the New York banks to lend and abolish them. Our system. Instead of building up a reserve, destroys It as fast as It Inclines to accumulate." In connection with his criticism of the money system, one of the secretary's most Important recommendations concerns future Issues of Panama bonds, of which $290.000,000 were authorized by the tariff act The secretar renews the recommendations he made last year for legislation to tax the new bonds at 1 Vi per cent If used by national banks for circulation and Intimates, as announced in news dispatches a few days aeo. that it might be preferable to Issue the new securities for Investment purposes only at a rate of 3 per cent. Favors a Circulation Tax. As a check against the use of the bonds as the basis for a further Inflation of the national-bank currency Mr. MacVeagh suggests that a circulation tax of even 2 per cent would have the effect of making them unprofitable for banks to use for such a purpose and at the same time would make them attractive to Investors without Injuring the 2 per cent bonds, of which more than $700.000.000 are outstanding. Another means of accomplishing the same end. the secretary suggests, would be for congress to authorize au Issue of $50.000.000 or $100.000.000 of the bonds at 3 per cent without the circulation provision.

PROSECUTION OF CUSTOM FRAUDS ARE TO CONTINUE Wlckersham Tells Congress What the Government's Legal Department Has Been Doing. Washington. Dec. 12. Revealing that more than $6.000.000 either has been collected by the government or is Involved In Judgment cases against firms or Individuals, for smuggling and undervaluation of imports, the annual report of Attorney General Wick ershaw. sent to congress today, promises more customs frauds Indictments and a continuation of the stern Investigation which is now in progress. There have already been fifty-eight convictions In the southern part of New York, says he. and at least n score more Indictments will be found. In this same connection the attorney general asks congress to pass a law forbidding revenue men from accepting perquisites from Importers and another law granting immunity to accused persons who turn state's evidence and assist the government In the prosecution of others. It is bIro demanded that a heavier penalty be placed upon the statute bc)ka for Importing firms which refuse to show their books upon the request of the collector of any port in the United States. The present penalty Is a $100 fine. Mr Wlckersham wants the salaries of the federal Judges raised and Intimates that the government could do better work in the prosecution of trusts if higher fees were paid Its attorneys. He points out that corporations are noted for the big suras they pay their attorneys. POSTAL DEFICIT REDUCED Remarkably Good Showing Is Made In the Report of Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock. Washington. Dec. 12. According to the annual report of Postmaster General Hitchcock. Just made public, an unprecedented reduction In the postal deficit has been made, without any curtailment of postal facilities. A year ago the fiscal records of the postal service disclosed a deficit of seventeen and a half million dollars, the largest in the history of fhe country. I.n the space of twelve months a reduction of eleven and a half millions has been made in this deficit, the excess of expenditures over receipts as reported for the year ended June 30 last amounting to only $5,S4S,566.$S. In view of the constantly growing loss on second class mall, the report advises the levying of higher rates In such a way that the advance would be paid by the magazines that carry large amounts of advertising. This plan. Mr. Hitchcock believes, would soon warrant 1-cent postage on first class mail. He again urges the introduction of a limited parcel-post service on rural routes, advises that the entire postil service be taken out of politics and all presidential postmasters of all grades from the first to the third be placed In the classified civil service.
